As an anesthesiologist, I don't usually have much to do with primary care - care of patients with non surgical needs, and I am usually only responsible for the patients while they are in the OR or recovery room. So having 25 patients in the "hospital" that I need to make sure get care is a different experience. I am changing dressings, deciding about antibiotics, diagnosing malaria based on clinical signs, deciding when people can go home, etc. Most of it is basic medical care, but it has been fabulous to have people around to help with the responsibility.
Yesterday was a second day of mourning. We heard singing in the next door church, a ceremony of some kind at the rivier behind the building we are staying in, and the activity level has been a little quieter.
